Question
20% of a larger number is 2.3 less than 30% of a smaller number. The larger number also exceeds the smaller number by 10. What is the value of the larger number?
Answer: Option D
:
D
Let the larger number and smaller number is L and S respectively.
0.2L=0.3S−2.3&2L−3S=−23
L−S=10&2L−2S=20
Solving the above two equations we get L = 53. Hence option (e)
